The preamble to the Ordinance does not impose a mandatory legal duty that Chinese be the principal language of instruction; the operative part of the Ordinance is silent on language, and that silence cannot be converted into a binding obligation by the preamble. The Senate acted within its lawful discretion in adopting the bilingual policy and did not fail to take into account a relevant consideration in a manner that would vitiate its decision.
